On the
Tuesday before the last week of school a group of us made an
expedition to Short Sands State Park, south of Cannon Beach,
to help Dave Duff gather up some timbers that had washed
ashore there. Most drove down, but a few of us hiked down
along the coastline.

This
was taken in a little cove just south of Arch Cape.
We'd just made it around there on our way south from
Hug Point, where we'd started. It was an absolutely
perfect day to hike the Oregon coast.

After we arrived at Short
Sands we ate, then helped Dave Duff move a few little
"twigs" around the beach so he could
salvage them. In those days such timbers would often
wash off the deck of ships headed to Japan and then
come ashore on the coast. It was cold work but fun.
Tiring too.

We used two wheelbarrows we borrowed from
the Parks Dept. It looks like Gred Bettis on the left
and Stan Sheilds on the right.
